Barbarian - 2022 - 6/10

Tess arrives at her rental house in Detroit.
Turns out, the agency mistakenly rented the home to another.
Who offers to share, for the night.
After all, rain is pouring, the hour is late, Tess doesn’t know the city.

Smart move – don’t drink the tea he offers, check his ID.
Bad move – the basement door yawns open.
Look, anytime a basement door opens, that means you flee. Now!
Midway, the film slams into cliché corner, which is solved with an abrupt transition.
Just go with it. This is better than dragging the pace, which 90% of filmmakers would do.
